No. You stated that an animal avoids being killed because it is avoiding pain. Yet without the experience of being killed or at least caught and escaping, an animal will not necessarily know that being killed is painful. Thus, it is fair to presume that an animal avoids predators through observational learning rather than first hand experience. That is to say, it sees peers and caregivers running, so it runs too.
Unless I am reading your post wrong? Which plausible!!
